Welcome![edit]

Hello, NigelForest, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Editing etiquette[edit]

Hi there Nigel Forest, when you edit on Wikipedia, it's considered good etiquette to leave an edit summary. The point is so that other editors know what you are doing, and why. For example, it would have been helpful with your Queenstown talk page edit to state that you are no longer assigned to that topic. Matthewvetter, I'm not sure whether that needs stressing when working with the students. Thanks, Nigel, and I hope you enjoy the experience. Schwede 66 22:27, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you - yes we have been talking about the importance of edit summaries in class and I will continue to emphasize this. Thanks for your feedback @Schwede66 - we appreciate it. - DarthVetter (talk) 14:55, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
